Sleeper&#39;s garment



1939- J. A GIUSTO SLEEPERS GARMENT Filed July 2, 1938 Patented Jan. 10, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to wearing apparel and more particularly a unitary garment adapted to be used by sleeping persons.

An object of the invention is to provide a night robe in which is combined the advantages of a sleeping bag and pajamas in one single garb.

A further feature is in the provision of a night dress having such lengths of sleeves and trousers as to extend beyond the arms and hands, and also the legs and feet so that all parts of the limbs may be entirely enclosed.

Another purpose is to produce a garment provided with means at the ends of its limb containing portions to easily and effectively close the openings, as well as at the seams at the front and back, rendering it proof against the passage of air, in the manner of a sleeping bag, but without impeding free movement of the limbs.

These objects are attained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the annexed drawing, forming a part of this disclosure, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an mebodiment of the invention, parts being broken away to show its construction and application.

Figure 2 is a back view of the same.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view showing a modified means of limb covering closure.

Figure 4 is a similar view showing a further modification.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary front view illustrating the garment as provided with a high, mufilrlike collar.

The unitary garment, as seen in Figures 1 and 2, consists of a coat-like upper portion l0 having a single central lengthwise seam ll, its edge provided with strips of hook fasteners l2, controlled by a runner l3, shown near the lapels H of the collar l5.

At the back l6, at about the waist, is a cross seam l1 similarly provided with hook fasteners l8, connected or disconnected by a runner IS.

The lower part of the garment is bifurcated to produce trouser legs 20, of such length as to extend below the feet of an individual wearing the garment, as shown in Figure 1, and may be closed at their ends by similar fasteners 2|, controlled by a slider 22 operable from the outside.

The sleeves 25 are also extended to reach below the hands, and may be closed by hook-fasteners 26 having sliders 21, in this case, operable from the inside of the sleeve, as indicated in Figure 1, thus protecting the wearer.

In Figure 3, elastic gores 28 are substituted for the hook fastening means, and in Figure 4, a tape or cord 29 is arranged in the bottom of the legs to close the opening when required by drawing it taut.

The garment may further be provided with a 15 high collar 30 and a seam 3!, closed or opened by a slider 32 near the collar, constituting in effect a muiller.

While the garment is specially designed for wear in extreme cold weather, it can be made of any preferred textile fabric, and, if the material s waterproof, is well adapted for the use of campers, being insect and weather resistant.

Although the foregoing is descriptive of the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be apparent that minor changes may be made in its construction, without the exercise of invention or conflicting with the scope of the claim hereto appended.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

A garment to cover the body and limbs of wearer, said limb coverings abnormally long to reach beyond the hands and feet, a single central longitudinal seam at the front, a transverse seam at the rear near the waist, hook fasteners at said seams and at the end of said limb coverings, means on the outer surfage of the garment to control the seams at the front, rear and feet, and means on the inner surface of hand coverings to control the seams thereat.
